President’s Ball has been a tradition at Lawrence for years, drawing students in to dress up, hear the booms of the big band and dance the night away. To honor that tradition, the Student Organization for University Planning (SOUP) is hosting a historic, one-of-a-kind President’s Ball under the stars on Saturday, Feb. 20, from 7 p.m. – 11 p.m. in the Boldt Plaza outside of the Warch Campus Center.
To follow all COVID-19 protocols, this year’s President’s Ball will be held outside in a large tent with several heaters. Fifty students are permitted to be inside the tent at the same time while wearing masks and socially distancing. Students may sign up for an hour-long time slot individually or with their friends through a link posted on SOUP’s Facebook account, as well as the Lawrence Shoutbox Facebook group.
